The object of my invention is to provide a device for attaching or securing the ends of cords to the stiles of window-sashes, to serve as a substitute for the knottin g method here,

tofore generally practiced.

My invention consists of a plate which is fastened in a suitable recess in the stile, and a hook having a segmental shank, in which the end ot' the cord or rope is fastened, said plate and hook locking with each other, as hereinafter more fully described.

Referring to the accompanying drawing, B represents a weight for counterbalancing the sash'G. D is a cord or rope extending from the weight to the sash, passing in the usual manner over a suitable pulley in the frame. E represents a hook, secured to the end of the cord D, the shank. of said hook being formed in two sections, c and el, held together by screws e2 e2, and forming a socket. The cord is secured t0 the hook by laying the end of the vformer in the hollow of the section e. The section el is then placed in position, and the screws c2 inserted, passing through said'cord or between its strands, and holding the parts irmly together. The plate is shown at F, being fastened by screws in a lateral recess at the base of the groove f, in which the cord usually rests. The back of the plate F is recessed, as shown at f1, and is also notched at f2, so as to keep the hook securely in place.

In order to insert or remove the hook it must rst be brought into a horizontal posil catch-bar F and concavely-channeled hook' E,

provided with the concavo-convex plate e secured thereto by screws e2 passing through and holding the cord D, substantially as shown and described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing I have hereunto set my hand this 26th'day of June, 1875. v
